@martinkoncan The fact that nc times out indicates that this is not a problem with Barrier, but has something to do with your firewall. Could you maybe check that?

Hey @martinkoncan , I had the same issue. You need to tell to Windows that you open your firewall to Barrier server.

I had to add barriers.exe as follow:
